Facebook is a rapidly growing social networking site, and a good tool to use to build your network marketing business. Here are a few tips to get the most out of Facebook for your MLM.
It's free to get an account with Facebook. Once you have registered, you can add whatever you wish to your profile. A photo of yourself is very important as you want to connect with people, and most on Facebook will not add you as a friend without a photo. Its important for branding yourself as well.
In addition you can add a photo album, this can include pictures of your family, pets, the area you live in, or places you have travelled to. The more you add the more "real" you become to your Facebook friends. You can add your web site or blog to your profile, and you may want to mention you have a home based business but I don't recommend mentioning much more than this.
Once your profile is ready you can star adding Facebook friends. In addition to looking for profiles of people in network marketing, you may also want to search for others with interests similar to your own. For example if you like to travel, or you love pets. Just like choosing friends offline, you will have more success online if you find people with common interests, rather than just adding people randomly.
As people add you to their friends list you can send them private messages or post on their page, often this is referred to as their "wall". It's very important that you just befriend people and not talk about your MLM unless they ask you. Otherwise you will be seen as a spammer and people do not respond to that.
Facebook has many groups that you can join. Some are by invitation only but most are open to anyone. When you join groups then you can post and introduce yourself, contribute to the discussions, but again do not promote your business except in a signature line if the group allows this. The majority of groups have policies against advertising, so if you do the post will be deleted and you could be banned from the group. However by contributing to the discussions others will get to know you and group members may add you as a friend, or contact you privately to ask about your business.
In conclusion Facebook is a great social networking site with very good opportunities for you to make new online friends and find business partners. It will take some time to build these relationships but you will likely find this very rewarding and a chance to get to know others that you otherwise would not have the chance.
